Tue Rev. Charies 4. Murray preached

orew's Church, on the life ard work OF
~ late Bishop Lee from the text, HE
~ good man and tull Of the holy
oonmenced his discourse by speskinsl
upon the bereavement which had come
upon the church, and said that while it
had caused them all TO be mourrers, 1t
bod also caused them to feel their do
psudence ON Him, who, when Hell
breaks the strong rod on which they
haze leaned so long, presents himself |
- the only refuge TO His people. Mr..
Murray said that his acquaintance
With the bishop began twenty live
yaArs ago, and that during tee past
IVA years he had been closely sssociat
ID With him in the work at St. Au'
Asew's. He felt that this association
had brought him so near to hi@ that ne
could speak as son of q true father IN
God. After referring to Bishop Lees
long and faithful service to the church.
where he had spent forty.fve years OF
his life as rector, he spoke OF him as he
appeared ut the last convention ana
quoted his concluding words III dellv'
sEiog the tenta charge, as follows:
SIN closing what in all probability
will be my last official utterance OF this
kind, desire to respond earnestly to|
Ill the manifestations o: love and conn
denoe which have received from my
7deothers of the clergy, as we'll as from
tbs lAity Of the diocese. The Lord
xswarded them, as cannot. And to

nudge the quick and the dead at their
npDaaring In His kingdom, preach the
word; be instant in season and out OF
season; reprove, Iebuke. exhort with
all long so fferipg and doctorine"
And then he concluded his last charge

which contained his last N esssge, hit

He thought that but few congress

been, in having for 60 many years tn
